Uwe Friedrichsen on Functional Service Design and Observability
At the microXchg 2017 conference, Uwe Friedrichsen discussed the core concepts of “Resilient Functional Service Design” and how to create observable systems. Friedrichsen believes that microservice developers must: learn about fault tolerant design patterns and caching; understand Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and modularity; and aim to design for replaceability of components rather than reuse.

FPGAs Supercharge Computational Performance
Originally used in the development of new hardware, new, cloud-based FPGAs are making the technology more accessible. The dramatic improvements in speed and lower costs over traditional CPUs means more companies can start benefiting from the technology. FPGAs are fundamentally concurrent, which makes them an ideal tool for data-intensive, parallel processing problems.

Virtual Panel: Microservices Interaction and Governance Model - Orchestration v Choreography
The recent trend in application architectures is to transition from monolithic applications to a microservices model. This transition without a good service interaction model will most likely result in chaos and a service landscape that's hard to govern and maintain. InfoQ spoke with domain experts on this topic and compiled their responses in this virtual panel article

Building Reactive Systems Using Akka’s Actor Model and Domain-Driven Design
With the explosion of mobile and data-driven applications, users are demanding real-time access to everything everywhere. System resilience and responsiveness are essential business requirements. Businesses increasingly need to trade up to more flexible, "reactive" systems. To support reactive development, actor models with domain-driven design can fulfill modern resiliency requirements.

The Java Evolution of Eclipse Collections
With each successive version of Java, frameworks must adapt and transform in order to stay current. This article aims to describe some of the new Java 8 features in Eclipse Collections, a high performance collections framework for Java, and looks ahead at some of the new things we’ve done to prepare for Java 9. This article will walk through these new features and changes.

Detecting and Analyzing Redundant Code
As software development projects grow in scope, it is very easy for them to add redundant layers of code. By analyzing several large open source projects on GitHub, the author presents his findings as to the amount of redundant code each project has and shares some recommendations as to how all projects can improve their own code management.

Q&A on the Book "Humans vs Computers"
Author Gojko Adzic has released a book, Humans vs Computers, in which he tells stories about the impact of inflexible automation, edge cases and software bugs on the lives of real people. He explains the common mistakes built into the systems and provides advice on how to prevent these mistakes from being built into our systems in the first place.
